Tucker Gun Leather order handled by dealer RobL ('tonerguy' on The High Road and formerly on TFL), who delivered my custom order within 6 days.

The leather is gorgeous. These pieces appear so sturdily constructed, I would not be surprised in my grandchild someday tries this leather and finds it servicable. The pictures above do not do the deep cherry black color justice, as would outdoor sunlight.

Mr. Jardine notched the rear sight edges 45 degrees and added a vertical
bar of enamel paint right under the aperature. The front sight was drilled
and given a large white dot.
